Download Sandboxie And Never Be Afraid Of Getting A Virus

Hello,
I have seen to many members here download hacking tools.
Many of them are afraid to try them because they think it could harm their computer.
Then they just upload it to some kind of online virus scanner,causing it to be detected by antiviruses.

Today i will show you how to test a hacking tool that contain malwares without doing any damage to my system.

All you need is Sandboxie.
Here is the link: http://www.sandboxie.com/index.php?DownloadSandboxiewebsite

So what it does: Sandboxie runs your applications in an isolated abstraction area called a sandbox. Under the supervision of Sandboxie, an application operates normally and at full speed, but can't effect permanent changes to your computer. Instead, the changes are effected only in the sandbox.
Sandboxie Control
Sandboxie is operated primarily through the Sandboxie Control program. This program adds the yellow Sandboxie icon to the system notification ("tray") area of your taskbar:

If Sandboxie Control is not already active, you can find it and launch it from the Sandboxie program group in your Windows Start menu:

When active, you can use the Sandboxie tray icon to hide and show the main window of Sandboxie Control, by double-clicking the icon. Or, you can right-click the icon and select the first command, which alternates between Hide Window and Show Window.

Part Two: Run Web Browser
To launch your Web browser, right-click the icon, and navigate the popup Tray Icon Menu to select the Run Web Browser action.

Your Web browser should come up sandboxed. You can tell that a program is sandboxed because its window title bar contains additional Sandboxie [#] indicators:

(Note: In some computer systems, Sandboxie starts the wrong program when you select Run Web Browser. If this is the case for you, use the Default Browser utility to fix this.)

The sandboxed program should appear in the main window of Sandboxie Control

The window displays the list of programs that are currently running sandboxed. Initially there is just one sandbox, DefaultBox, however, more sandboxes can be created; see Create New Sandbox in the Sandbox Menu.

The picture above shows Sandboxie is running three programs. The first, iexplore.exe, stands for Internet Explorer, as this tutorial assumes Internet Explorer is the Web browser in use. If the default Web browser in your system is Firefox, or Opera, then you would see firefox.exe or opera.exe, respectively, as the first program running in the sandbox.

The screenshot shows two more programs are running, SandboxieRpcss.exe and SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe. These support programs are part of Sandboxie, and will start and stop without any explicit action on your part.

When Sandboxie is actively running programs in any of the sandboxes, the icon displays red dots:

Part Three: The Sandbox
You should now have your Web browser running sandboxed. It can be Internet Explorer or any other browser.

The browser program may make changes to your computer. These changes will all be trapped in the sandbox.

Try it now: Right-click on the following link, and save the file to your desktop. If you're using Internet Explorer, this is the Save Target As... command in the right-click menu.
In the default and recommended configuration, Sandboxie will identify that a file was saved to an interesting location -- your desktop in this case -- and will offer Immediate Recovery for the file:

Because the point of this exercise is to show that files remain in the sandbox unless recovered, click the Close button on the window above, to tell Sandboxie to keep the file in the sandbox.
If you minimize all windows and examine your desktop, you should not be able to see the new icon, because the file was in fact saved in the sandbox, and not yet recovered.

Sandboxie Control initially operates in Programs View where it lists the programs running in the sandbox, but you can use the View Menu to switch the view mode to Files And Folders View which shows the contents of the sandbox. Click Files and Folders in the View menu:
Expand the branches (by clicking the + signs) to reveal the contents of the sandbox, arranged into folders. As you can see in the picture directly above, the file favicon.ico that you saved earlier has been placed in the sandboxed desktop folder.

In the same way, any file created by any sandboxed program will be placed in a sandbox folder corresponding to the real folder where it should have been placed.

I hope you understand the use of it. Have fun!Sorry for not uploading pictures

Pretty handy tool - I have avast! Anti Virus which has something similar to this.

I corrected your link, you copied it exactly from chinzka's post, and the full link wasn't displayed.

You know, although i once opened a PDF ebook i once got from a user off of hackforums.net, and ran it in sandboxie, i was certain that after my computer was a little jacked up. So, now, i'm sometimes a little weary of if sandboxie is actually doing its job.

Yes, avast antivirus comes with this feature. But for my, i use DeepFreeze. I can run anything i want and if i catch a virus, all i do is restart my computer *poof* back to normal.

There are also some ways on how to not catch a virus in the first place. Google them

Deepfreeze? I've never heard of this before. I'm going to google it. Sometimes i feel like sandboxie isn't doing its job. Hopefully, this deepfreeze is a little more efficient.

DeepFreeze is a software that "freezes" the current state of your computer. So no matter what you do, even if you delete files, after you have restarted your computer, everything will be there again. It is a pretty good software.

nice man, you should make a thread about it...also this may be a not so good thing if you do a lot of stuff like downloading one day and then your computer shuts down...then your F*****
